The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into history, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an increase in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications are in high demand, due to better eduction, more free time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
